Hi, Rawat ji,

Can it be Leontopodium ochroleucum Beauverd rather than Leontopodium leontopodinum (DC.) Hand.Mazz. as per keys in Flora of China

although Flora of Pakistan considers former to be a syn. of later.

This plant is  Leontopodium ochroleucum Beauverd  

Both floras mentioned by you consider L. leontopodinum as synonym of this species. Leontopodium leontopodioides (given in Flora of China) is a completely different species.

World Flora Online 2020  (http://www.worldfloraonline.org/taxon/wfo-0000080700 ) accept Lentopodium leontopodinum as correct name.

Plants of the World 2019 (http://plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:229643-1#synonyms)  considere Leontopodium ochroleucum as correct name.

Catalogue of Life 2019 (http://www.catalogueoflife.org/annual-checklist/2019/details/species/id/f74675387db831b5f7c4e6bde1d38884/synonym/772b049b05f0a8815461fd353f09e736) consider Leontopodium ochroleucum as correct name. Indian literature (Uniyal et al. 2007; Pusalkar & Singh 2012; Karthikeyan et al. 2009 ) have used the name L. leontopodinum as correct name.

So, it is up to us which database we follow. Accordingly the correct name can be used.

Thanks, Rawat ji.

In fact there are two species with the same name but different author citations:

Leontopodium leontopodioides (Willdenow) Beauverd as an accepted species as per Flora of China.

And L. leontopodinum (Candolle) Handel-Mazzetti as a syn. of Leontopodium ochroleucum Beauverd as per Flora of China.
